After setting up the WD hitch and loading my new trailer, I went for a couple hours test tow over the weekend.

I've got a well equipped half ton. My trailer is a 24 foot bunkhouse, GVWR 7000 lbs.

The tow was comfortable. I wouldn't recommend much more for any half ton. Even with "only" 7000 pounds GVWR (tow capacity 10,200), I can see why others recommend stepping up to a HD truck for similarly sized trailers...

I think you should look at a 26 foot model that weighs 8000 lbs GVWR max. Idk, maybe that's you much. I wanted the 26 foot model and decided it was too much for me.

Good luck!
